Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) engine. The memory cell array includes a plurality of volatile memory cells coupled to respective ones of a plurality of word-lines and respective ones of a plurality of bit-lines. The CRC engine, during a memory operation on the memory cell array, detects an error in a main data and a system parity data provided from a memory controller external to the semiconductor memory device through a link, generates an error flag indicating whether the detected error corresponds to either a first type of error associated with the link or a second type of error associated with the volatile memory cells based on the system parity data and transmit the error flag to the memory controller.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an on-die error correction code (ECC) engine, and a control logic circuit. The on-die ECC engine, based on an ECC, in a write operation, performs an ECC encoding on main data to generate first parity data, selectively replaces a portion of the first parity data with a poison flag to generate second parity data based on a poison mode signal, provides the main data to a normal cell region in a target page of the memory cell array, and provides the first parity data to a parity cell region in the target page or provides the poison flag and the second parity data to the parity cell region. The control logic circuit controls the on-die ECC engine and generates the poison mode signal, based on a command and an address from a memory controller.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a buffer die and a plurality of memory dies. An error correction code (ECC) engine in one of the memory dies performs an RS encoding on a main data to generate a parity data and performs a RS decoding, using a parity check matrix, on the main data and the parity data. The parity check matrix includes sub matrixes and each of the sub matrixes corresponds to two different symbols. Each of the sub matrixes includes two identity sub matrixes and two same alpha matrixes, the two identity sub matrixes are disposed in a first diagonal direction of the sub matrix and the two same alpha matrixes are disposed in a second diagonal direction. A number of high-level value elements in a y-th row of the parity check matrix is the same as a number of high-level value elements in a (y+p)-th row.

The memory controller includes a first bit signal generator configured to generate a data signal as a plurality of data bits, a second bit signal generator configured to generate a command address bus inversion bit (CABIB) having a high or low logic level that is a function of a number of data bits within the data signal having a predetermined logic level, and a parity bit generator configured to set a parity signal to a first logic level when a total number of data bits within the data signal and the CABIB having a high logic level is an even number. A storage system is also provided, which is configured to write or read data in response to the command address signal received from the host system. The memory controller is configured to set the CABIB to a high logic level when: (i) “n”, which is a number of bits included in the command address signal, is a positive integer greater than one, and (ii) a number of data bits within the data signal having a low logic level is greater than or equal to (n/2)−1.

Abstract: An error correction circuit includes an error correction code (ECC) encoder and an ECC decoder. The ECC encoder generates, based on a main data, a parity data using an ECC represented by a generation matrix and stores a codeword including the main data and the parity data in a target page. The ECC decoder reads the codeword from the target page as a read codeword based on an externally provided address to generate different syndromes based on the read codeword and a parity check matrix which is based on the ECC, and applies the different syndromes to the main data in the read codeword to correct a single bit error when the single bit error exists in the main data or to correct two bit errors when the two bit errors occur in adjacent two memory cells in the target page.
